Trew Introduces TrewSort® Swivel Wheel Sorter
An all‑electric mid‑rate sortation solution with SmartRow™ and Wheel Grip Technology for class‑leading throughput without sacrificing accuracy or durability.
(West Chester, Ohio) – Trew, a U.S.-owned and operated leader in automated material handling solutions announced the new TrewSort® Swivel Wheel Sorter, an all-electric mid‑rate sortation solution designed to deliver high throughout and accuracy within its class for parcel, ecommerce, retail and manufacturing operations. The Swivel Wheel Sorter helps address common operational challenges of getting the most throughput, accuracy, and reliability without introducing complexity or high-speed sortation.

TrewSort® Swivel Wheel Sorter
“Not every operation needs the fastest sorter on the market, but every operation needs one that fits the business,” said Drew Herchenbach, Senior Product Manager at Trew responsible for the TrewSort portfolio. “The Swivel Wheel Sorter is built for the 45 to 200 carton per minute (12,000 units per hour) range where product mix, space constraints, accuracy, and uptime matter.”
The TrewSort Swivel Wheel Sorter handles a wide range of cartons, totes, polybags, and mixed parcel sizes while maintaining small gaps between items for predictable product flow and consistent performance. The design supports single‑ and dual‑sided 30°, 45°, and 90° diverts and operates at speeds up to 400 feet per minute.
Designed for all‑electric operation, the TrewSort Swivel Wheel Sorter uses SmartRow™ technology to independently control and monitor rows of divert wheels, enabling accurate diverting of tightly spaced products. Wheel Grip Technology, which combines a barrel wheel with a durable, long-life coating, increases traction control guiding products, reducing slippage and tracking errors seen in mid-rate applications.
The TrewSort Swivel Wheel Sorter will be included in Trew’s MODEX demonstration, which is designed to provide educational context around different sortation technologies. The demonstration highlights where mid‑rate solutions like the Swivel Wheel Sorter deliver the most value across shipping, routing, and mixed‑item operations.
